It's been a long time since the Spawn fad of 1997 and it's satanic explosion featuring the first super hero from Hell's big screen debut. Back then it was a miracle to even get a PG-13 adaption but due to the success of dark R rated features such as Deadpool and Logan, the time feels right.
(Comic book creator) McFarlane elaborates:
"We're getting a second movie. And it's not gonna be a
continuation, it's not gonna be a sequel, it's not gonna be any of that. Scrap
the first movie it was twenty years ago. It's gonna be a dark, R-rated, scary,
bad-ass sort of script that's tight. And it's not a nice, polite, PG-13 with
ray guns and and headquarters.... You're never going to see a dude in a rubber
suit....This is going to be my Jaws shark."
Hold on there, by Jaws shark does that not only mean
something terrifying but involving practical effects? No rubber suit, no ray
guns..., how much of a reality check is this thing going to cash?
During a recent interview on 'Greeking Out' via
comicbook.com, he continues to hint that "Gone are the super villains and
dastardly plots.'
Instead I imagine its going to be a lot like the beginning
of the old HBO special, where a supernatural entity (Spawn) lurks about in the
alley ways dealing with a community of homeless bums. It's going to be a
monster flick based on solid ground, nothing fanatical but the exception of the
main character's existence.
So what's to be excited about? The golden promise has been
given, this next movie will better follow the source material than the
original campy film. We're talking comic books
known for graphic, unrelenting content and overwhelming levels of grit.
So less of flashy monsters and troll haired looking demon lords,
and more grizzly violence and story driven horror.
Keep watch of MovieDemon, we're definitely following this resurrection.
